Nether Springs

“Seeing a stranger approach, I would put food in the eating place,
drink in the drinking place, music in the listening place,
and look with joy for the blessing of God,
who often comes to my home in the blessing of a stranger.”

Nether Springs is the home and ‘Mother House’ of the Northumbria Community. Situated in peaceful Northumbrian countryside, our home welcomes people from all over the world and from all kinds of backgrounds, whether they are part of the Community or not, and wherever they are on their journey of faith.

Stay

People come to the Nether Springs for many different reasons, including: making a retreat; giving themselves time to rest and reflect; seek guidance; study; or just out of plain curiosity about the Community or the Celtic Saints and the Northumbrian landscape. Whatever your reason, welcome.

Nether Springs is also the home of a small resident expression of the Community, who in the context of seeking God themselves, help keep the home running smoothly and facilitate retreats for guests. We look forward to being with you during your visit.
